Strategy

Ben Hyman

Underclassmen

  • Autonomous - Line - Switch

  • Tele - Levitate First

    • Scale - uncommon

    • Switch

  • End Game - Climb with scale mechanism

  • Defense - Offense is the best defense, keep the scale ownership

Strategy

Gabby Calderon

Underclassmen

  • Autonomous - Cross line and switch

  • Tele -

    • Scale Focus

    • Use extra blocks for Power Ups - Levitate

    • Maybe force at end - boost is situational

  • Endgame - Climb, lift teammates robots or climb and hold up

  • Defense - Keep switch ownership

Strategy

Jake Shulroff

Underclassmen

  • Autonomous - Switch/line

  • Tele - Levitate first - Cubes off ground -

    • No scale - Switch focus

  • Endgame - climb - bar on robot for assisting in climb

  • Defense - Boxes on opposing switch

Strategy

Aaron Waltzer

Underclassmen

  • Autonomous - Scale, huge initial advantage

  • Tele - Lever is very tough - Levitate - Picking up cubes is huge -Exchange capability

  • Endgame - Climb from another robot

  • Defense - Use offense

Strategy

David Zaretsky

Underclassmen

  • Autonomous - Switch, all time in switch

  • Tele - Switch for most time, negate other teams switch, use mostly power ups for boost on switch and force on lever

  • Endgame - not focused on climbing but could if needed.

  • Defense - negate other teams switch

Strategy

Max Oppenheim

Underclassmen

  • Autonomous - Scale!! - 6 feet off the ground, very tough for them to tip the scale

  • Tele - We will stand out as one of the few scale teams - Levitate - Boost to help the scale - Switches if necessary

  • Endgame - Height from scale combines with scale mechanism

  • Defense - Maintaining scale whole time

Strategy

Ethan Chalfen

Underclassmen

  • Autonomous - Cross line, switch

  • Tele - Switch focus - Be super good at it - Levitation - Take away other team’s switch - Never the Null area

  • Endgame - climbing

  • Defense - Take their points, we should already have our own

Strategy

Colby

Other execs

  • Autonomous - Switches on the robot determine the position. FMS tells us where our switch’s side is

    • If statements

    • Power cube autonomously inputted to scale

  • Tele-

    • Levitate for later

    • Pick up Power Cubes and use portals / exchange for power ups

  • Endgame - lift a robot, levitate for us

  • Defense - Push robots with high torque motors

Final Strategy

The Pobots

Mentors

  • Autonomous -

    • Scale is going to be more valuable but harder, scale is more valuable in the long run.

      • Scale for Auto

    • Switch is safer and easier, but probably less valuable.

  • Tele - Intake - From floor/tower - Lot of effort from floor, take from human player when its dropped. - Human Player - takes more time, less time - Both - Best of both choices - Cube - Scale - Switch - Power Up - Just cubes

  • Endgame - Climbing/Ascend - Pistons, like feet - ROBOT WILL BE EXTENDING ITS HEIGHT OVER THE 12 INCHES -Just Parking - Picking Up Another robot - Picking up and climbing - Defense -
